Institutional FX Advisory Partners (IFXAP) is partnering with ITG Analytics to bring the latter’s FX TCA product to middle-tier asset managers and pension funds in Europe.
The new consultancy service will review the complete FX transaction lifecycle to ensure an efficient and transparent process, and, the firms say, seek to minimise cost and risk and maximise portfolio performance.
The consultancy covers the entire FX trade lifecycle, including use of third-party trading platforms, data delivery and connectivity, assessment of pricing and service provided by FX dealers, evaluation of front and back office process efficiency, and monitoring of execution costs using ITG’s FX TCA.

ITG has hired Ruben Costa-Santos as director and head of FX and Andre Nogueira as a director on its analytics team.
Costa-Santos most recently worked at Deutsche Bank, where he served as head of FX platforms for the Americas.
Prior to joining Deutsche Bank in 2004, Costa-Santos conducted physics research at Utrecht University and at Stony Brook University, where he received his Ph.D in mathematical physics.
Costa-Santos will oversee ITG’s foreign exchange activity across the analytics, execution and workflow technology product groups. He will be based in the New York office.

ITG’s transaction cost analysis (TCA) product for FX is now integrated into the FX Connect trading platform.
This means that institutional investors on the platform can now use FX Connect and ITG TCA for FX to measure and analyse their FX trading to help demonstrate best execution.
The TCA product combines dealer, ECN and interbank market sources to provide a analysis covering spot, forward, swap, NDF and NDS transactions.
“Accurate FX trading data is the foundation of effective FX TCA analysis. The seamless integration of a client’s data from FX Connect to ITG TCA combines our deep FX analysis capabilities with robust data from the best-in-class platform for complex foreign exchange workflows. This creates an easy to use, powerful and flexible solution for institutional traders,” says Ian Domowitz, managing director and head of analytics at ITG.
